The Search dialogs are used to construct and apply entered search criteria against the specified table or view to selected the required records. There are 3 different type of search dialog: Standard, Simple and Advanced.
The Standard Search Dialog is the default search dialog and allows a full range of relational operators to applied to each of the columns that appear in the dialog. A column will appear in the search dialog if the column search property is set to true. The dialog can be referenced in client-script via the searchDialog property. If you have a lot of search columns you can set the height of the dialog using the searchDialogHeight property.

The Simple Search dialog presents a very simple interface to a user and will perform a fuzzy match against all the text columns for which the simpleSearch property is set to true. If the property is not explicitly set then the search is applied to all the text columns in the data source. The dialog can be referenced in client-script via the simpleSearchDialog property. The Simple Search dialog can be made the default search dialog by setting the searchDialogMode property to "simple".
